The UPS Store in other cities:
Had an excellent experience today! Had to ship 2 very large packages and was very unsure on what to do as this is my first time shipping anything through UPS. Haille walked me through the whole process and made it SUPER simple for me. Id recommend this UPS store to anyone just for the service.
The worst ups store! They run things backwards compared to other ups stores. They have the rudest most incompetent employees I have ever seen there. I guess they get it from the owner of that franchised location who is even more rude and ignorant then the employees he has hired. I have had numerous bad experiences there from customer service at this specific ups store in Lakewood, oh. I would recommend going to a different shipper like FedEx or the US post office, because it is not worth dealing with this horrible location, which makes the UPS brand look bad due to their actions at this specific location!
This place is terrible, there was a male worker there who got everything done, service was nice and beautiful, I went back recently and he wasn’t there, I was helped by a female and met with udder disrespect and a completely unnecessary attitude, not to mention she sounded super sick and contagious to everyone
New frontiers of poor service. For the last three packages I’ve brought in for packing and shipment, they give me the run around about how and why they can’t complete the task. They tell me to go buy boxes elsewhere and pack them and then bring them back. Today, the poor underpaid employee at the counter was the only person scheduled for the entire day and said she wouldn’t even be able to pack my item until tomorrow.So, so next level awful - avoid like the plague
This place should merge with the Lakewood post office..absymal customer service, never answer their phone, place is an absolute mess, paper signs on door announcing systems down.Save yourself the hassle and drive the extra five minutes to the Rocky River location of you can help it.
Horrible. I dont think Ill ever order using UPS again. I live in an apartment, the first notice was left on my mailbox, saying I was not available and they would try again on the next business day. I left a note on my mailbox asking them to please come to my door next time (because obviously Im not gonna be standing by my mailbox). I had surgery on my eye, and never left the house. 2 more notices were left on my door, no knocks or anything. Monday morning (two days after receiving the last notice) I drove up to the UPS store and was told they were already sent back to the sender, even though the notice said I had seven days to pick my packages up. The workers at the store were very nice and helpful and gave me a number to call. I called and left my complaint and when I received a call back the man was very rude saying how the ups guy had been doing this for over ten years and never had a complaint and wouldnt want to hold onto my package any longer than he had to, he was no help at all and made the situation worse. I ended up having to call the place I ordered from since they were already being sent back, and reorder sending them to my mothers address so this doesnt happen again. Now I have 140 extra dollars taken out of my account until they can refund my money in ten days. I wont be getting deliveries In This area again, if I must use UPS I will have it delivered to a friend or familys house. Oh and I payed for 1-3 buisness day shipping, and now will be waiting over 12 days!
This franchise most definitely has a new and positive attitude, in addition to a new owner. I walked in and was immediately greeted in a friendly manner and was promptly asked “How can I help you?” Both Jeremy and Andrew were kind and considerate enough to walk me through my shipping experience. I will most certainly do business with the store when the need arises. Thanks for all you do and folks don’t take out your UPS frustrations on this small team. This is a privately owned franchise store.
I used this location to deliver a very expensive pair of running shoes to Texas. I received a call from the recipient stating they had not received the shoes (5 days later). Long story short, because I was stupid enough to trust the idiot sales guy to tape the package since I did not have tape, either he or someone at this facility STOLE my shoes. It never left the facilty. UPS corporate where complete dill weeds and basically told me I had to try and find out what the store did with my package. THIS is one of the MANY reasons I normally do not use UPS and always ship with FEDEX. This company doesnt have the common decency to try and help me nor take the financial responsibility to pay me back for my shoes their staff STOLE. THIEVES!!!!May 31, 2018 - UPDATE - 12:02PM EasternI received a phone call from UPS corporate and UPS manager of the location yesterday afternoon and whom BOTH apologized for my lost package. The store manager stated it never made it on the truck - we have searched everywhere and cannot find it.The manager then promised to call me back later that day to confirm it hadnt been lost by the driver in case it had made it on, however he still hasnt called me.Therefore whomever wrote the response below to my review needs to check their facts.
Terrible service. Very rude employee. You are a for profit company. If I come in with multiple packages and one is USPS maybe don’t immediately jump down my throat about how you will not assume responsibility for that one package. I would have still mailed the others through UPS but will avoid this location from now on.
After the UPS website crashed on me twice when I went to submit a large order, I phoned Andrew at the Lakewood UPS and he immediately began solving a large printing job problem for me. He was efficient, organized, responded quickly with email updates, and delivered 11 separate jobs totaling over 15,000 copies with precision and speed. I will not be using any other copy service again, thanks again.
Don’t waste your time going here the lady that attended me was so rude and disrespectful. I scheduled an appointment for today 3/16/2021 for 11:00 am to see a notary so I can sign a sworn statement and she was just so rude about not helping me because the letter was in Spanish she didn’t even realize that it was in Spanish and English. Didn’t get her name but she was the only one there today, she’s caucasian and big in size . If you work in costumer service be polite !.
Very professional and polite employees made a needed shipment a breeze. The gentleman was courteously focused on my getting packaging and computer/printer use in such an expedient manner my bad knee didn’t have a chance to argue about my standing at the kiosk. Oh, and ample parking is a bonus because handicap spots are few and not close to the door.
Beyond frustrated with this location. Im not going to drag on about the details but several months ago a mailed a simple hand written letter out of the country for roughly $25. I come in yesterday to mail another one and they are trying to charge me $86. Not okay. Obviously I dont have the itemized receipt for a letter that was delivered back in April but I do have the bank statement showing what I was charged. Its infuriating when employees whove been there for 4 years claim what Im saying isnt true. Awesome way to retain customers and way to let down both of my children who wanted to mail their letters to their pen pal.
Very rude staff, and franchise owner. They lost a very valuable item that I tried to ship from this location. I called corporate, which they explained it had never left this original location. My only thought is that a staff member stole it due to how much I claimed the item to be worth to insure it for shipping. Thank god I did that, though it nearly took 90 days to receive my insurance money. Best advice, never use this store!!! You have been warned!!!!
After calling the UPS 1800 number and not being helped, I called this office for assistance in getting in touch with the shipping center and the answering party immediately interrupted me in a very condescending manner to tell me that he didnt know the answer to any shipping questions and that I would have to call the 1800 number. I attempted to tell him that the 1800 number was not able to provide assistance and he interrupted me again to tell me that I should call the 1800 number.I understand that customer service is stressful, and really do like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but this response was amazingly rude, and I will prefer to deal with other companies whenever possible.
Called this location looking for help finding UPS shipping supplies and was very rudely told this is a private franchise we dont do that and was hung up on. Will gladly drive out of my way to make sure this private franchise no longer receives any of my business. And from the looks of the other reviews, this seems like common practice here so not sure how this place is still in business.
Neil is extremely rude. He is unwilling to work with people, to the tune of can I have have you take my name and number and I am going to have someone else drop off a package tomorrow to be shipped to me. I will pay you with a credit cardI spoke with two ladies earlier to request they pick up this package 3 blocks away and I would pay them. They said they cant the employees at this store are high school students and they cant fair enugh, its an unusual request.I have the ups store 12 miles away in rocky heights taking care of my business for me. They were very helpful and willing to pick up my package.Stay clear from here
I used to ship here through my business all of the time but the lack of any customer service, willingness to do anything including handing you a tape gun without making a snide remark is unabrebale. I now just drive the extra 10 minutes Rocky River where the staff is helpful and somehow the packages ship for far less. I’m beginning to think the Lakewood store is looks for reasons to rob from its customers and overcharge for shipping. By my estimation, I have lost hundreds of dollars annually going here vs Rocky River, by assuming shipping is the same - it’s clearly not.Rocky River will do whatever they can to make sure you are getting the lowest shipping costs; including cutting boxes down which you are in the store. Lakewood can’t be bothered with going the extra step for anything. Avoid.
Had a very fragile piece of hand made furniture sent from this store for extremely high price - Item was NOT properly packed and package did not include the standard Heavy Item or Fragile indicators - Needless to say, the item was nearly destroyed in the shipping.When attempting to place a claim, the staff was not helpful and when given specific requests for information, received incorrect information and rude responses.Based on previous reviews, DO NOT USE THIS STORE.

2022-03-04Like many of these other reviews - their hours of operation is when they feel like it. Waited outside with 4 other people for the store to open at 9am. By 9:15am, the employee showed up with his Starbucks and girlfriend in tow. The other customers ended up leaving. He was polite, but made no effort to apologize for the delay. His coworker was also waiting to be let in, and he was super kind and apologized for not having a key. It really will be worth the drive to go to another location for more dependable hours.

2022-06-07My wife went to UPS with two Wi-Fi modems whom are partnered with UPS to ship them back to their original origin. The young lady at the desk tried scanning both modems and told her that it wouldn’t scan and couldn’t do anything else for her. She kept asking if she could get her supervisor or to call the companies but apparently it was “out of her job description”. When you call this location their line is always “busy”. We are trying to communicate with the store and had to go to UPS customer service because this location is so unhelpful. I hope they hire staff who know what they are actually doing instead of giving up so easily.

2022-06-08I use UPS often for my business and purchase prepaid labels online using their generated bar codes… depending on the location I go to they are stubborn to scan it assuming its a “return” this is one of the locations however a younger gentleman was able to help encourage his colleague to scan my barcode , besides that small delay this is a convenient location

2022-08-06I’ve never had a problem with missing items here; but the store itself is in a horrible location near the busy entrance to a shopping center known for being the worst parking lot in Lakewood. Even the judge got on road rage incident here. Causes traffic jambs pulling in due to people crossing and is like frogger trying to cross with your packages. There is then no marked easily accessible area to leave packages... some employee like it on the counter, others say never on counter. Very tiny store so you have to be incredibly and awkwardly close to customers as you “push” past the line to drop off pre-paids and have the entire line glare at you. I have 5 to drop off today and will probably go elsewhere as they were also closed during business hours yesterday with just a sign on the door

2022-08-06Closed for two days with no indication except for a paper sign on their door saying to go elsewhere. Would be great if they would mark as much online before customers get to the store.

2022-08-11Manager is lying saying everyone got Covid when she just doesn’t work. And doesn’t contact her employees when she’s not showing up to work and she’s late everyday

2022-08-19If youre doing an Amazon return, your item will sit there for days before they send it back to Amazon so dont expect your refund anytime soon!

2021-12-04I’ve tried dropping off prepaid packages here 3 times this week. They turn the open sign on when they’re not open and the hours online were wrong until a few days ago. The other day I got there at 6:57 pm and walked up to the door where another customer was standing with packages to drop off but the doors were locked. Two customers were still inside. The two customers walked out at 7:01 so we asked the employee inside if we could just drop off packages since they locked the doors before closing time and we were there before closing time. The employee (Laura) just shook her head and looked at us disapprovingly. Finally got to drop off my packages today and there were probably 30 other packages sitting there. I will be surprised if my returns ever make it back. I understand it’s the holiday season, but it’s always like this. Take the extra 5 minutes to go to the rocky river location, they’re always great!!
